Bad Dream Entertainment

Publisher info

Bad Dream Entertainment is a small-press publisher of dark fiction, horror, science fiction, and humor. Founded in 2013 by editor Brett Reistroffer, BDE was established as a home for short fiction from new and underground writers with a focus on dark, story and character-driven contemporary fantasy. 2014 saw the release of BDE’s first published book, Birney Reed’s The Tales of Victor Coachman, a single-author collection of short horror and thriller stories. This was followed the next year with the hilarious sci-fi adventure comedy Usu, by South African author Jayde Ver Elst. With the next release, Dark Little Dreams, Bad Dream Entertainment presents a collection of short horror and contemporary fantasy fiction that represents the first two years of our online publishing.

There are many more stories to be told and we hope you’ll join us for the ride!

This is the world of Victor Coachman, a fictional author whose pen reaches beyond the printed page and into the real world, crafting living stories of horror, beauty, and supernatural terror. Explore 13 original stories of modern fantasy, horror, and the supernatural in this interconnected meta-collection from author Birney Reed, collected in print for the first time.

'Usu' is a heartwarming sci-fi adventure from the mind of South African writer Jayde Ver Elst that tells the tale of two very dear friends; a stuffed rabbit and his android girl. Fighting against time, forgotten memories, and their own design at the hands of their former creators, they will find a way to be together forever, at any cost.
